DESCRIPTION

Shelby County Illinois Hunting Gem

Located just a few minutes Southeast of Pana or 15 minutes Northwest of Cowden IL

The property tax bill indicates 39.09 acres, the calculated acres is 40.27 and our GIS program shows more than 40 acres. Anyway, I mention this only because of landowner permits. Nowadays if a survey reads more than 39 1/2 acres, the landowner qualifies for a free permit for deer and turkey hunting. That potential is there and getting a Shelby County tag is not usually an issue.

Speaking of deer and turkey, this property is just an awesome spot for both! Before we outline the potential this property has, I want to mention the gentleman that absolutely loved this place.

Steven “Fuzz” Sims and his wife Debra have owned this farm for many years and hosted camping outings, deer hunting camp, you name it, this was Fuzz’s happy place! Last fall while hunting early October, Fuzz had a tree stand accident which claimed his life and Deb just doesn’t relish any trips back to their farm without Fuzz…so she has decided to sell the property.

Now as an avid deer and turkey hunter and a total nut for habitat improvements, I fell in love with this property and its potential. I have included numerous aerial photo maps and I strongly suggest you study them. Start with Map 1 and see how this farm lays, move to Map 2 and this will show you the “area” potential and the nice mix of broken ground within a few miles of the farm. Then study Map 4 which shows the tillable, or open areas within the farm now. Finally, I encourage you to look at the map named Potential Habitat. That map will show you that there are 9+ acres of open land currently and some potential food plots to enhance food on this farm for wildlife. Furthermore, it shows you that less than 2500 feet of Miscanthus could do to make the wildlife feel secure and right at home coming out in daylight to enjoy the potential smorgasbord!

This property is good now, however the potential it holds to being an Awesome Hunting Property is incredible and doable for not a lot of money or manual labor. Lastly look at the Topographical Map; this property hosts several fantastic pond locations! Not really looking for a hunting farm and looking to build a country home, pasture a few horses, mushroom hunt, manage some nice hardwood timber or just spend time in the great outdoors, this property is exceptional for all of these things. This property has electricity on it already along with (2) 30 amp breakers. There is a reason Fuzz and Debra loved to be at the farm so I suggest you come take a look for yourself and see what it has to offer.

I look at things personally in one way…. Wildlife and although it’s an awesome home site and or a mini farm location, I have a hard time seeing past the potential for big whitetails and gobbling turkeys! I am not the agent on this property; Danny Barker is. He showed me this farm and I decided to spend some time on it. I would be happy to answer any questions I can or discuss ideas you may have for this farm so feel free to email me at thewingbaf@gmail.com or call or text 217-663-8087. I might be hard to catch during daylight but leave me a message and I will get back to you. But please give Danny a call also; he is the agent. Take care! Todd Hewing
